Grandma Co-Signed Now What?

[ErickaLC]

My husband of 10 years and I are getting a divorce. He is out of state, I have the Van and the 3 children. I have been making payemtns on the van in a timely manner. I just got a call from his grandmother (also the co-signer of the van loan) That she either wants the Van to give to him. Leaving me with 3 kids and no transportation, or she wants the Van taken out of her name and his, and i have to get it refinanced. I am currently living with my parents without a job! Am i legally obligated to give it to her?

If you can prove that YOU ALONE have made the payments, then you may not have to. It would be a good idea for you to get it refinanced and ask that your parents co-sign for you.

As for not having a job, you need to get something, anything ASAP otherwise he can or possibly will make more problems for you if you don't have a job. If you are collecting welfare, and he decides he wants custody, he very well may get it. I've seen this happen in court not too long ago.

Good luck

I am currently looking for a job. I am not collecting welfare, and have enough money to hold me over for about another month. My parents do not have good enough credit to co-sign for me. But I could possibly get another co-signer. I just made a payment on the van about 3 days ago. I didnt want to go to court over our divorce, but if he wont let me keep the car, what else will he try and get?!?!? I have been the sole-provider in this household for the past year. He has not had a job.

If you are
